1200 Canadian dollars = 1,263.67 USD
TURBO FOR R100 FOR POWER INCREASE
THIS HAS NEVER BEEN USED.
NO OPPORTUNITY TO GET EXCITED OR DESIRE AFTER BUYING A K1
No opportunity to get excited? I guess the K1 is kind of boring then.

Yeah...I know how that goes. Is this NOS Luftmeister or is someone else selling these now?

I once owned a R100RS with a Luftmeister turbo on it. Do you really want to make a hotrod that is nearly unrideable?

Prexactly. The Lufty Turbo kits were not well sorted out by either the manufacturer
or the marketing concern, and who knows the provenance of this one.
Your money would best be considered as a down payment on a mechanical / logistical nightmare
with the hope of a satisfactorily working system.
I have known people who have successfully worked it all out – just one, in fact ...

Having been the owner of a K1 – boring was never, and could never be, an appropriate adjective ....

So, you had plenty of opportunity to get excited, it sounds like. Not like the poor fellow selling the turbo. He's had no exciting opportunities lately, despite having a new K1...
